Truck explodes damaging HWY

I don't know if anyone has gone thru Spanish Fork canyon, Utah hwy 6, but i use it everytime I go home to New Mexico. Or if anyone has gone to Lake Powell from nothern Utah its the same road. Well this semi had some issues and ended up blowing a crater in the road. They say it'll only close the road for 6-8 hrs but come on, this is a 35 ft deep crater possible 60-80 ft wide. No fatalities, maybe minor injuries. Bet that driver will be more careful on mountain curves from now on.
UPDATE: (8/17/05) I never would have believed that a hole this big could be fixed so fast, but less than 2 days after this explosion the highway was fixed and open for use.
